Chapter 556: Chapter 556: The First Battle

"Drones and long-range sniper rifles as well; this mercenary corps is well-funded!" Takala took cover behind a building, his brow furrowed. "If it weren’t for our numerical advantage and local expertise, I honestly might not be able to beat them. How does Lu Ah, a mere boxer, have such powerful allies?"

Takala immediately used the walkie-talkie to warn all his subordinates, "Everyone must be careful, the extent of Lu Ah’s backup is unknown, but they are all formidable!"

Wang Han quickly led his team out of the house and stealthily infiltrated the slums.

Even with Takala’s numerically superior forces, they still had to fight desperately.

Firstly, they had accepted Yang Yu’s contract and must complete the mission, as it was the duty of mercenaries.

Secondly, Yang Yu was Wang Han’s adoptive parents; even if he were the last man standing, he would fight to the bitter end.

Lu Ah, he must be protected!

The two sides quickly exchanged fire, initiating street combat in the slums.

With Tina’s prior surveillance, Wang Han’s team had an intimate knowledge of the opponents’ movements.

Now that the surveillance was destroyed, both sides were on an equal footing, and it was a matter of seeing who was stronger.

Lu Ah had already heard the bombing and gunfire outside, and he instantly realized Yang Yu had sent people to rescue him; he was deeply moved, "Mr. Yang, thank you..."

He didn’t just sit and wait for death. After the first round of bombing, he used the spreading smoke to escape from the basement and hide elsewhere.

Later, he contacted Yang Yu and learned that Yang Yu had sent two teams, one consisting of thirty people – the same ones who were rescuing him.

This team had a panda emblem stitched on the sleeves of their uniforms, easy to recognize.

The other team, still en route, consisted of over a hundred people, almost all Westerners, also easy to recognize.

Knowing who was friend and foe, Lu Ah also joined the fight.

He had been inactive for several days due to injuries, but he recovered quickly and was almost at his best condition.

Plus, he was brimming with pent-up fury, making his strikes particularly ferocious.

In a narrow alley, a ten-man Takala Mercenaries contingent quietly moved to flank the enemy, preparing to ambush, when suddenly a figure dropped down from above.

Crack!

This individual directly pinned one of their teammates underneath, the sound of fracturing bones audibly resounding.

"Ah—" the mercenary screamed out, then Lu Ah smashed his fist, equipped with a knuckle duster, into his head, bloodying it!

The soldiers were caught off guard, thrown into disarray.

As someone immediately opened fire, Lu Ah dodged, and the bullets hit his comrade instead.

Pop pop pop pop...

In that confined space, Lu Ah’s iron fists pummeled wildly, knocking all the assailants down in less than two seconds.

"Who?" Hearing the commotion in the alley, Wang Han shouted, as he and his men immediately aimed their guns at the mouth of the alley.

"It’s me, Lu Ah." Lu Ah walked out from within, "You are Wang Han?"

"That’s me." Wang Han sighed in relief, "Let’s get moving..."

Bang bang bang bang...

A burst of gunfire swept through, forcing Wang Han, Lu Ah, and the team to scatter for cover.

The enemy’s firepower was intense, suppressing them so severely that they could barely retaliate.

"Lu Ah is with me!" someone screamed into the walkie-talkie, and Takala Mercenaries surged from all directions towards this location.

While Wang Han’s subordinates also tried to block them, they were too few in number and overwhelmed by the enemy’s firepower.

"If we don’t run now, we’ll be trapped here!" Wang Han yelled, "Everyone, get inside the buildings and don’t recklessly show yourselves!"

"Received!" All team members, wearing radios, could hear Wang Han’s order and quickly took cover inside nearby houses.

Takala personally led the team, tightening the encirclement, trapping Wang Han, Lu Ah, and their group within an area of less than two hundred meters.

Takala asked one of her subordinates, "Are you sure they’re in here?"

The subordinate nodded, "Yes, Big Sister."

Takala said coldly, "Set fire."

"What?" The subordinate seemed as though he had misheard, his eyes wide with disbelief, "But these are civilian homes..."

"How much money it takes to burn, Mr. Hamlin will compensate. What are you worried about?" Takala snorted coldly, "Set fire!"

"Boss, they’re getting ready to set fire." The sniper watched from a distance, aiming his scope at one of the arsonists, "Try to break through from the north side, I’ll cover you... Run!"

Thud!

The mercenary preparing to set fire in the north was shot in the head, startling the people around him.

Wang Han immediately led Lu Ah and a few subordinates to break out towards the north, while other subordinates also started shooting to cover them, diverting the opponent’s attention.

But the moment they showed their heads, they were instantly suppressed by the enemy’s firepower, forcing them all to duck back down.

They were mercenaries after all, while completing the mission was important, they greatly valued their lives, which is the biggest difference between them and regular soldiers.

Wang Han had barely broken out with Lu Ah for a few meters when Takala fired a rocket at them!

Boom!

The old house where they were hiding instantly exploded into flames, shooting up into the sky!

The fire spread quickly, causing everyone to cough incessantly.

A mercenary couldn’t hold back and rushed out, only to be shot dead immediately.

Not running, suffocate to death;

Running, get shot to death.

Either way, it was a dead end!

Takala laughed coldly, "Heh, let’s see where you can run now!"

"I’m sorry, I’ve dragged you all down." Lu Ah was filled with guilt, "I’ll go out now to draw them away, you guys find a way to break through..."

"Don’t go out!" Wang Han grabbed Lu Ah, "What do you take us for? We’re mercenaries paid to do a job, protecting you is our task and duty. What’s this about dragging us down? You stay put, if anyone should go out to draw fire, it should be us...Cough, cough, cough..."

Tina, anxiously, had reddened eyes, "Boss, if we don’t make a decision now, we’ll all die here!"

The other subordinates also shouted, "Boss, let’s fight! Kill as many as we can!"

Wang Han gritted his teeth, his face fierce, "Alright, let’s fight..."

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

Suddenly, there was a flurry of gunfire outside, and the sniper shouted excitedly, "Boss, our reinforcements are here!"

"Reinforcements are here?" Wang Han was ecstatic, almost to tears, "Charge!"

"What’s going on? They have reinforcements?" Takala’s face turned pale, "Fire, kill them all!"

Yes, Rena had arrived, leading the Rena Mercenary Corps formerly known as the Castle Mercenary Corps.

They didn’t care who killed Castle, whoever paid them was their boss.

Yang Yu was generous with money, so Rena bought a private jet and came killing over, "Brothers, this is the first battle of our Rena Mercenary Corps, let’s show these clowns how formidable we are!"
